Loft insulation in Poole

Common loft jobs in Poole

Many semis have lofts that have been part-boarded over the years, often straight onto the joists. Where that has flattened the insulation underneath, raised boarding lets you keep the storage and restore the insulation; 20% of homes in Poole are semi-detached.

12% of households in Poole live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 31% of Poole homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.

With 20% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Poole should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.
